do you know how much the dutch live below the sea level in your measurement unit? they can live so can Bangkok people as an intelligent creature. just copy them.

this is the one.

This Nation article would have been slightly more informative and probably would have moved up on the scale, from utter rubbish to vaguely interesting, if some key information and background facts were included.

• How far were these boats into Thai water territory?
  
• Did they pass through Cambodian waters?
  
• What is the international waters situation in the Gulf of Thailand?
  
• Has there been a (recent) history of these events?
  

- they came too much far from VN. captured in Samet Island,Rayong

- Yep, they did

- they were in the Thai sea not in the international water. All the countries around the gulf had a consensus mutually.

- there are many similar cases with Thai-Malasian, Thai-Burma, Thai-Vietnam, Thai-Indonesian and Thai-Cambodian.

in a few years AEC will be fully functioning. I wanna laugh. integrating all these countries is a disaster.

i remember when i was in Jakarta. Once a month on Sunday, people should abandon their cars and use bikes instead. And the cars pool system is compulsory. if you are in the city, you will be surprised. Hiking and filling up to 4 people in a car are what day do in the morning and after work. 'Cos Jakarta has the worst traffic congestion in the world. Analysts predict if they don't build more roads, they will have no more room for cars. Similar to BKK people inhale the fume in the air. Totally polluted. Jakarta is the case study.

what do these things mean?

1.Pull ON Yellow emergency light - don't get close to my car or when cars break down

2.Raise the head lights - stop I'll go you don't drive or please

The BMA can actually deter many bangkok residents from buying cars. Present BMA regulations require all condo projects to have a minimum amount of car parking space. If these regulations are changed to not exceeding a maximum amount of car park space, and that such space has to be sold and bought, and not included into the common area, people will be hit in their pockets and think many times over if they want to buy a car.

Some new housing projects in London don't allowing parking at all. So if you live there you can't get a permit to park in the street. So these units can only be sold to people that don't have cars. Great idea.

The problem with Bangkok though is that large parts of it are inaccessible by decent public transport. Taxis at night at not generally safe for women, and buses just get stuck in traffic. The BTS and MRT need to cover much large parts of the city. Lots more trees would also help, as that would help keep people cool when they walk.

Also, why not do away with one lane of traffic and extend the pavements instead. People would be much more inclined to walk with nice, wide pavements.

But the fact is that Thais seem to love their cars, and it will be a long-term job getting them to use public transport.

Finally, BTS is just about at full capacity, so all the car owners wouldn't be able to use it even if they wanted to.

Personally, I prefer public transport and always have. It's a great way to get around most cities, and you save an absolute fortune on the cost of a car. I just don't understand how most people can actually afford a car. I've lived almost my whole life without one, and as a result I'm massively better off as a consequence. Not enough people take the time to sit down and actually work out the true costs of car ownership.

Owning cars is mostly about status.

it's possible to live without cars in BKK since many parts of it have public transportation. it's hard to get on with your daily lifestyle without one here where i live. imagine that for me to go to Pattaya and come back would take me 1/2 day instead of 2-3 hrs by car. the procedure of going Pattaya for me is 1. catch a biker-taxi. 2.wait at least 10-20 mins. it depends on what time of the day you wanna go. 3. sitting on a full load of SongTeaw,minibus and it keeps stopping from where i starts through all the way to the destination. very tired. iwill sell my car , the transport system is efficient enough. I live in a remote area of Thailand.(jokin')

it's a nice campaign but i don't live it BKK. BTW, I scare to drive in the city. i always use a cab when i visit it.

many people don't know traffic rules. corruption is the major cause. issuing driving license is too easy.

Driving skills in the UK were promoted through constant airing of short advertisements on road safety and courtesy. This was then followed by the production of the Highway Code, which all drivers had to study before going forward for their driving test. A basic awareness of right and wrong, what all the signs refer to, and the penalties for ignoring them, makes all the difference!

When I first came to Thailand to work on a traffic survey and recommendations I asked the drivers in the office for a copy of the local Highway Code. After explaining what it was they assured me it did not exist. I did find one after a few months, too late.

The UK accident rate is as low as ever since records began. This takes a long time and persistent action on all items mentioned above. It proves that accidents are not a necessary part of life on the public highway.

i had a test in SA,Adelaide. you can't miss any of the questions. not sure how many questions were. if you do miss one, you will fail. but the test fee is paid only once. you can make it many times to be sure you understand all of 'em. inside the test, there are simulated cases like you similar to when you are actually on the road. Plus, a practical driving test should be carried on after that. L,P,F. isn't that a better system? still there are many crazy Aussies driving carelessly. i guess it's everywhere though.

yesterday, i read California Wow members on Wednesday 9/12/2012 asked for a total of 21.62 million baht in compensation.

and i googled and found California Finess in Vietnam "http://www.cfyc.com.vn/vn/home" i hope it's not from the same owner though.

2-3 times i gave 'em a few bucks. it's not new.

George, I do have a problem understanding why some people do not believe some of your posts.....

a jerk.

The most pessimistic forecasts suggest parts of the capital could be underwater by 2030. this is very interesting. i feel it is similar to the case of Christmas Island where they chopped off all the trees on the island to build the poles. Day by day, all are gone. they started to fight with each others for the limited natural resources left on the island. only the island's not under the sea water.

They didn't interrogate him anything for being there 2 days.

What news report was this written?

if he had one, he wouldn't be there until the 2nd day. please notice that i was questioning seriously about destination and the flight schedule. then, the airport staff would save him from that suicide. Perhaps,he had the language barrier , the money problem or else. there is no information from other media. it's my assumption.

make sure he stays away from

the Crock farm in Samutprakarn......

Initial police investigation said that the man had taken shelter in the terminal for unknown reasons for a couple of days.

i was there half of a day and ending up with the thorough search in my lugguage from the airport staff plus many questions for my journey. before leaving , one guy abused me with his words. I felt really ashamed with the people around me looked me like i'm a jerk.

is this what we call " double standard"? They didn't interrogate him anything for being there 2 days.

the cost of real viagra is just 2/3 of Yaba still there are widely used everywhere in Thailand. what to say the cost isn't the major issue.

Maybe this doctor really wanted to be a gynecologist and was just studying via video.

i doubt if the Doc. can come back to work cos as far as i know they would give 'em some psychological tests b4 they can be Docs.

What is the incentive for the owners to dismantle unless they have somewhere else to re-assemble?

The Ploy Samed is part of a group on the island. They have a big operation on Sai Kaew beach, Ploy Talay. Ploy Talay was my favorite place to stay years ago, until they built a huge pumping bar and disco that rocks into the wee hours. Now I spend more on accommodations and stay at Samed Villas, as far away from the noise as possible.

They make money hand over fist. I don't feel the least bit sorry for them.

in 2010 i booked a room at muk-samed for my 2 friends, they were happy staying there. i found out later that all 3 have the same owner and the ticket office is in bangkok. i used to pay 'em electronically 20 % b4 the arrival. i ain't know the services. Feel the same.... No mercy for 'em.

try again in Mexico then.
